Feel what your iPhone can really do. TactiLoops is a quiet set of tactile toys: switches, bubble wrap, a heavy flywheel, a tape-measure retractor and more. Each one answers your finger with its own haptic pattern and a sound synthesized live, so you feel every click, pop and spin instead of just watching it. 18 TACTILE TOYS, FREE AND UNLIMITED • Switches: flip three levers and feel each one snap. • Bubble Wrap: pop a sheet that never runs out. • Flywheel: spin it until the clicks blur into a hum. • Retractor: pull the handle out and let it reel home. • Thread Spool, Piston Press, Pin Board, Scratch Surface, Scroll Wheel, Pop Keys and more. No ads. No coins. No timers. CALM LOOPS Four slower mechanisms for restless nails, picky fingers and slow breathing: • Blind Snag: find a hidden burr, peel it, feel it smooth. • Nail File: scrape a fingernail over fine ridges. • Chest Purr: rest the phone on your chest and breathe with the purr. • Pocket Pulse: a heartbeat that slowly calms down in your pocket. Each one has three free sessions. MADE FOR ONE THUMB AND ONE MINUTE Open it in a queue, on a train or between two tasks: a one-minute reset instead of a twenty-minute scroll. The haptics carry the feel even with the sound off, and your music keeps playing. TACTILOOPS PRO • Every setting: all three options on every mechanism, felt live before you choose • Calm Loops, unlimited • Your colors: the full palette, any color, one per mechanism • Pocket Mode: play any mechanism with the screen black, in a pocket or under a desk • Six Spaces: arrange your own screens of controls in the Studio Pay once and keep it forever, or try the yearly plan free for 7 days.
